The delayed health effects from accidental exposure to bromine vapors in a group of six people were evaluated. During the acute exposure, they had only some respiratory symptoms and skin burns of first to second degree involving small areas. All were treated in one hospital and released within 1-4 d. Six to 8 wk later, some still had health complaints such as cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, eye irritation, headache, dizziness, fatigue, and memory, sleep, and sexual disturbances, but no objective laboratory or clinical evidence of effects. Mechanisms that might have led to manifestations of such complaints 1-2 mo after the accident are discussed and possible ways to alleviate similar situations are suggested.
对一组六人的溴蒸气意外暴露后的延迟健康影响进行了评估。在急性暴露期间，他们仅出现了一些呼吸道症状以及小面积的一度至二度皮肤烧伤。所有人均在一家医院接受治疗，并在1至4天内出院。六至八周后，有些人仍有健康问题，如咳嗽、呼吸急促、胸闷、眼睛刺激、头痛、头晕、疲劳以及记忆、睡眠和性功能障碍，但没有客观的实验室或临床证据表明存在影响。文中讨论了可能导致事故发生1至2个月后出现此类症状的机制，并提出了缓解类似情况的可能方法。
